Welcome Back
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year and welcome back to the start of another term. I hope you all had al lovely break, despite the freezing weather conditions.
The staff and I would like to pass on sincere thanks for all the presents and cards received at Christmas.
At St Marks we pride ourselves in being an Eco friendly school. We are therefore collecting Christmas cards for recycling, if it is easier for you to send your cards into school rather than take them to the supermarket , cards can be sent in from now. A recycling box is in the school hall.
We would like to welcome two new members of staff to St. Mark’s. Miss Jessica Lindsay joins us a Classroom Assistant in our Reception Class working with Mrs Smith. Mrs Lillian Quinn will be working as a temporary Lunchtime Supervisor. We hope they enjoy their time with us at St. Mark’s.

End Of Year Message
Dear Parents,
As the end of term fast approaches I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the generosity and support you have shown throughout this year.
2009 has been a fantastic year for us. We had the best KS2 SATS results ever at St Mark’s and were ranked 1st in the City for Maths and Science; we also achieved our Inclusion Quality Mark and Eco Green Flag .Throughout the summer we had lots of refurbishments carried out in school. This is to name but a few of some of the exciting things which have taken place this year. These achievements are all down to hard work. I would like to thank all staff for the commitment they have shown throughout the year. Thanks to everyone.
We will continue to work hard to make 2010 just as rewarding as this year.
At the end of term we will be saying goodbye to Mrs Wharton our Year 1 Teaching Assistant. She is leaving us to join another school, where she will be working on a one to one basis with children.
We are of course sorry to see her leave, but the staff and I would like to pass our thanks for the fantastic contribution she has made to St. Mark’s and we hope she will take with her many happy memories of the time she has spent with us.
We are happy to report that Miss Dunbar who has been working with our Year 4 children will continue as their Class Teacher up until July.
We will also be welcoming Miss Jessica Lindsay at the start of our new term. She will be working as a Teaching Assistant in our Reception Class. Mrs Shaftoe will now move into Year 1 with Miss Thompson.
Thank you all for your continued support
Mrs Alison Miller

Thank You!
A big thank you to everyone involved with our Christams Fayre last Friday. A special thank you to the parents who organised so much of the afternoon- if it wasn't for them it wouldn't have been the success it was. All money raised will go towards the cost of trips for our children next term.
There are still a few raffle prices unclaimed. You can bring your ticket to the school office to check if you have won.
